What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
This procedure enhances the area by first removing excess fat from your body via liposuction. Fatty tissue is harvested from areas of the body that traditionally store excess fat, such as the abdomen, hips, back and thighs. It is then purified and injected into the upper quadrant of the buttocks so that it appears lifted and perky. Your skin is also tightened, making this method an ideal choice for patients who have loose skin from excessive weight loss.
This procedure can increase the size and shape of the buttock area, helping it to appear rounder and more prominent. This is done by placing silicone implants via small incisions, hidden in the crack between the buttock cheeks. When the incision heals it is difficult to detect and the result is a round and prominent buttock.

What Is The Recovery Time For Butt Augmentation?
Since each buttock augmentation procedure is different, their recovery times are slightly different. Their recovery times are listed below:
- Brazilian Butt lift (fat transfer) is typically 10 to 14 days
- Butt Implants takes 7 to 14 days
- Butt Implants with fat transfer is 7 to 10 days
All of these surgeries are outpatient. Initial results are immediate; however, there will be some swelling, which typically resolves in four to six weeks. So you will be able to see some of the results of augmentation and lifting immediately after your surgery, and as the swelling decreases, the results will improve.
In general, normal activities can be resumed after approximately three weeks, including work. We recommend that patients wait two weeks before returning to light daily activities and four weeks before resuming full physical activity. Light walking is permitted throughout the recovery period. High-intensity buttock exercises, such as squats, lunges, etc., should be avoided for three months.
Can I Combine A Butt Lift With Other Procedures?
This is possible, but not recommended for two reasons. We don’t want our patients under anesthesia longer than necessary as there may be more risks.
The Brazilian Butt Lift is a multiple procedure surgeries that requires liposuction first, in order to harvest the needed fat. The liposuction portion of the procedure may include various areas of the body, such as flanks, inner thighs, and stomach, in order to harvest enough fat to inject into the buttocks. This results in multiple areas that will be painful after surgery, limiting mobility and sleep, both crucial to the recovery process.
